After a few days of idleness, Nie Yaoyao began to prepare for her new business.

After thinking about it, she plans to open a hot pot restaurant, and she can't guarantee other foods, hot pot is a popular delicacy with a high fault tolerance rate, and it will be very popular no matter where it is placed.

It's autumn now, and the weather will gradually cool down in a few days, so it's the right time to eat hot pot.

Nie Yaoyao told Aunt Li about her thoughts, Aunt Li and Jia Shun listened to it, and they had never heard of what hot pot was, but they all believed in Nie Yaoyao's decision, and when they heard that they could do a job, they raised their hands in favor.

After discussing how to make hot pot, Nie Yaoyao went to the town to choose a storefront, she had a thousand taels of windfall in her arms, but she was very confident.

She and Jia Shun inquired around the center of the town and found that the prices of the stores were roughly divided into three categories: first, small shops selling groceries, ranging from about 100 taels to 500 taels; the second is a medium-sized storefront with a small courtyard for resting, and the price is between 500 taels and 1,000 taels; Then there are two or three storey large shops, which are different in different locations, and the prices are more than a few thousand taels.

To open a hot pot restaurant, it is natural to have a larger shop, but unfortunately Nie Yaoyao did not have a few thousand taels of silver, so he had to grit his teeth and buy a medium shop of nine hundred and fifty taels.

This shop is more expensive, but it is better in the location, and it comes with a small courtyard that has just been renovated not long ago, two brick houses on the left and right, and the yard also comes with a well and a toilet, which is very convenient and complete.

After the shop is chosen, the rest is the purchase of hot pot utensils and human hands.

Nie Yaoyao calculated, after buying the shop, the money in her hand was only seventy-seven or eighty-eight taels, and the money used to open a shop of a small scale was really shivering, but she could still survive the first wave of customers if she saved it carefully.

The original tables, chairs, benches and decorations in the store are not ready to be replaced, and the ones that are not broken will still be usable, and it will not be too late to renovate them when the funds are sufficient in the future.

Aunt Li and Jia Shun helped scrub the shop inside and out, while Nie Yaoyao went to the blacksmith shop to customize more than 20 pairs of single-port boilers and mandarin duck boilers, and went to buy some new dishes, chopsticks, plates and dishes for later use.

Nie Yaoyao also gave the hot pot restaurant a name, called Nie's hot pot, although it was a little casual but easy to understand, and after choosing the name, she went to order a plaque by the way.

At the end of the day, Nie Yaoyao spent more than fifty taels of silver.

At night, after Nie Yaoyao washed up, she rummaged through the cabinets and collected all her silver coins, counted them, and found that she only had more than sixteen taels of silver left.

She couldn't help frowning, her heart sad.

Alas, I knew that she would not spend money so lavishly, but now how can these sixteen taels of silver be enough to buy ingredients and hire people to use them?

Hu Yunlong was playing with Xiuru on the side, she couldn't help but understand a little when she saw Nie Yaoyao's face that was about to wrinkle and the silver she was holding in her hand.

She quietly got off the kang, opened a cabinet that Nie Yaoyao had given her, rummaged through it, and took out two silver tickets of one hundred taels from it and put them in front of Nie Yaoyao.

"Are you short of money, hey, these are all for you."

Nie Yaoyao looked at the two silver tickets that Hu Yunlong suddenly stuffed in front of him, blinked a little dumbly, looked up at Hu Yunlong with a smile on his face, and asked in surprise, "Where did you get so much money?"

Hu Yunlong tilted his chin indifferently, "Who can go out without personal money, don't worry, this is all the private money I have saved over the years, it's clean." ”

Nie Yaoyao was only moved when she heard this, she couldn't help but straighten up and hugged Hu Yunlong, "Xiaoyun, you are so good, don't worry, I won't use your money in vain, I will give you shares, and I will give you dividends when I earn money in the future." ”

Hu Yunlong is not interested in money now, only happily: "Just make me more delicious food in the future, you have helped me so much, I am very happy if this money can help you."

A warm current crossed Nie Yaoyao's heart, "Thank you Xiaoyun." ”

With the money, Nie Yaoyao began to make a big splash.

The intimate work of boiling hot pot soup base and hot pot sauce is prepared for Nie Yaoyao to be handled only by Aunt Li and Jia Shun.

The guys who were in charge of accounting, running the hall and sweeping outside also needed six people.

Nie Yaoyao found someone to pick six people who seemed to be honest and dutiful to come back, and set a salary of fifty wen a day, which is much better than the average wage of thirty-five wen for workers in the market, Nie Yaoyao told them that they had to work hard, and the salary increase was not a problem at all.

After the relevant matters were ready, Aunt Li helped the questioner pick an auspicious day for Huang Chen, and thirteen days later, Nie's hot pot shop officially opened.

The whip sounded the gong and sprinkled the sugar, and many passers-by came to cheer.

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't miss it! Today, our Nie's hot pot shop is officially opened, the dishes are novel and delicious! Everyone is welcome to come and taste it! Jia Shun specially changed into the new clothes made for him by Aunt Li today, and stood at the door of the store happily to solicit customers.

"Hot pot? What kind of dish is this? I really haven't heard of it, why don't you go in and try it? ”

"This shop is quite big, I'll take a look."

On the first day of the opening of the new shop, many people came to cheer, and the young seconders who ran the hall were well-trained and asked about the taste of each table.

The most particular thing about eating hot pot is the boiling of the soup base and the matching of the hot pot sauce, the soup base should be boiled for several hours with fresh beef tube bones or pork tube bones, and then stir-fried with various hot pot spices, so that the hot pot soup base will be mellow and rich, spicy and refreshing.

The side dishes are all kinds of fresh meat slices, vegetables, fruits and mushrooms that Nie Yaoyao ordered a day in advance, as well as the most popular hairy tripe, duck blood and meatballs she developed in modern times.

"Little two! How do you eat this hot pot? A richly dressed man and his friend stared at the soup that was gradually tumbling in front of them, and studied it for a long time, not knowing how to eat it.

Xiao Er hurriedly came to explain when he heard the voice: "Guest officer, you two can eat spicy food, so I arranged a spicy soup for you, this soup base is now boiling, you can now put all these side dishes you just ordered in it, wait for half an hour to take it out, dip it in some hot pot sauce in the sauce plate and eat."

"Yo, this is fresh." The man was in a mood and added the slices of meat and hairy belly he had just ordered.

He leaned across the table, a slightly chubby man who was already sweating profusely, he wiped his mouth and shouted, "Little Er, good wine on the altar!" By the way, if there is any rice wine that women and children can drink, let's have some too. ”

Xiao Er hurriedly rushed over and said, "This guest, we have juice suitable for women and children in our store, that is, the juice squeezed from fresh fruits, which is the most greasy and refreshing."

"Daddy, I want juice!" The seven-year-old girl beside the man pleaded with bright eyes at the man.

"Okay, bring me a jug of juice!"

Xiao Er nodded with a smile and asked, "We have grape juice, white pear juice and pomegranate juice in our store today, not what kind of juice the customer wants."

"Let's have a pot of grape juice." The woman beside the girl replied gently.

"Okay, I'll get it to you right away."
